I wake up and look upon your painted eyelidsThe world is your oysterAnd the trashbags are your kidsThe ceiling is invisibleThere's a bird sinking through the skyAnd every hour that passesIt's teachin' me how to cryBecause it's lonely hereIn the ugly part of townThe buildings are all vacantAnd the telephones are down

There's a police siren singingLike a tiger with no skinThe sewer drain is glowingAnd I don't know what state I'm inAnd the liver is on fireThere's chemicals and debrisAnd all the roads are blocked offIt's just too hard to see

So cancel my appointmentsAnd set up a whole new showBecause I'm in need of a good hot mealAnd a life to call my own

Get me a plate of moneyGet me a blanket and a chairThe limitations are limitlessThey're floating through the air

Because it's real and it's trueThe things I see in youAnd there's nothing I wouldn't talk aboutWith the clearest dream that ever drifted by
